A/N: Another update! :D Enjoy!
Kagome's POV
oooooOooooo
Chapter Thirty-Five: Fire
oooooOooooo
I watched, from behind the swirling waters of my temporary cage, as Kagutsuchi laughed.
Instantly, I knew something was wrong.
There was no . . . humor in the way he laughed. He took a step away from Sesshoumaru and Izanagi and seemed to be revelingin something that had transpired.
His entire demeanor was triumphant.
And Sesshoumaru was furious.
The chances of deadly confrontation suddenly seemed very high. I strained to see more of what was happening, but my vision was distorted due to the overprotective tendencies of my husband.
I growled in frustration. Perhaps, if I tried to push only my head out . . .
The moment my skin touched water, my whirlwind barrier stilled, and I looked on, horrified, as it solidified and froze.
There was now three feet of ice separating me from Sesshoumaru.
"No," I whispered. I pressed my palms flat against my icy prison, feeling only momentarily surprised that it was not cold. "Sesshoumaru!"
And, as I cried his name, fire erupted all around me from beyond my frigid barrier.
oooooOooooo
